2 Analyzing <strong>Compression</strong> <strong>Springs</strong><br />

2.1 Task<br />

To analyze a cold formed compression spring 4 x 40 x 235 made of spring steel. Search for this<br />

data:<br />

Spring rate R<br />

Shear stress ô k2 at F 2 =300N<br />

Spring travel s h<br />

This tutorial then describes how you input the following data:<br />

Wire diameter d 4.0 mm<br />

Coil diameter D 40.0 mm<br />

Effective coils n 12.5 mm<br />

Spring length L 0<br />

235.0 mm<br />

Material<br />

Wire C (DIN 17223-1), untreated<br />

Ends of spring<br />

Even<br />

Tolerances DIN 2095 quality standard 1<br />

Operating data.<br />

2.2 <strong>In</strong>putting operating data<br />

<strong>As</strong> shown below, you can input operating data directly in the input window. Here you can input<br />

either the forces or the ways.<br />

Figure 2.1<br />

<strong>In</strong>put window, "Operating data" group.<br />

The types of support are displayed in a help graphic that you open by clicking next to the<br />

Support field. The support coefficient v is used for calculating the buckling spring travel sk. If<br />

the required level of buckling safety is not achieved, the spring must be led, otherwise it will<br />

buckle.<br />

If the spring must be led, the <strong>KISSsoft</strong> system issues a warning message when you perform<br />

the calculation to inform you of this fact.<br />
